Heart Awaiting Spring

"Haru wo Matsu Kokoro - Heart Awaiting Spring" - Hiroshima Enka Seasonal Trilogy Chapter 3 (Final Chapter)

A moving enka ballad where hope blooms in a woman's heart as spring arrives after a long winter.

Melting snow, plum blossoms beginning to bloom, warm morning sunlight, birds singing. A frozen heart gradually thaws, and new hope takes root. With determination not to look back at the past, she begins walking forward. The warm and gentle tones of the Yo-nanuki minor scale express spring's arrival and the heart's warmth, while the erhu's soft melody illuminates the path to hope.

From sorrow to hope. As the final chapter of the trilogy, it sings of life's renewal and new beginnings. While maintaining the beauty of strict 5-7 syllable patterns, the spirit of traditional enka - lyrics-first composition, cherishing ma and kobushi - resonates as a message of hope.
